When the festival has fully ended. The fireworks show and moonlight parade made by every single student and staff member of Estelle. It was a beautiful display, especially when Nina and I operated the sky shows on our rocket bikes. Lumin and Caesar dancing together on a float with Jo playing his guitar. The ending was outright gorgeous and is going to be talked about for years. It also doesn't help that it was all on camera and Eden made sure that it was on every channel that Estelle is connected with. It's not going to be lost anytime soon. As soon as the gates were closed and everyone had gone home. Kilo and Talon have waved me goodbye as I had to remain at the college. As there's a lot of cleaning up to do.
As soon as the cleaning was over at around dawn. We all took up the medical wing, to take some well needed sleep. As it's a lot of back breaking work. We didn't exactly have a thing called sleep until we were done cleaning up everything, the incinerator and power units are working overtime for this. I was the only one that took the floating beds and go all the way up to the skylights, you can actually see the stars and moon move over the course of a few days. my bed pod became that of a pretty rose and lotus blossom with blankets. The pod soon moves slowly and consistently as I fall asleep. Everyone has used these pods, a lot of them are on the floor and up the walls but never floating about three to five feet away from the glass like I am. The only one that is near me in this high of elevation is Lumin who is directly 300ft below me.
10:30AM
We were all woken up by EDEN. Sounding off alarms as we can and have slept through the sounds of chirping birds and sunlight hitting us. I shot upward because of the alarm, everyone groans awake. I roar, "what the hell?!" as my bed stopped floating and I jump down. I didn't hit any of the other floating waking up Hybrids as I descend.
As soon as I had hit the ground, "Come on! Can't we get some more sleep?!" I demanded as I walk towards the dining wing. "I'm sorry Crystallia." EDEN answered as we all got up. I am farther ahead and make it to the dining wing before everyone else, so I get first pickings of all of the food. Chef Ruby really went all out when making breakfast.
I piled my tray high with food and grabbed the biggest cups possible, filling each with coffee, orange juice and water. I then claim a table and begin feasting. I rip into my food as I see the students and other staff begin filling the dining hall.
I was soon joined by Kai. I just continue eating but I did acknowledge him. Kai and I have been eating in absolute silence. The steps for forgiveness has always been difficult not just for the culprit but the victim as well. Fuma also sat down near me. He didn't say a damn word. Fuma had a traditional Japanese breakfast while Kai had a large breakfast sandwich. With a side dish of sushi. Fuma kept his mouth shut as we all ate in silence. A good sign that he has indeed learned his lesson...or at least he doesn't want to get killed. We have eaten a good amount of food.
As soon as we all finish our morning meal. We all walk to the war-room. Where everything involving our battles with the dragon threat. All of us have either coffee, tea or a caffeinated beverage of some sort. I'm not apposed to tea but coffee is what gets me going in the morning, I can only drink tea either at night or when I'm reading. My friends know this as it's just one of those hangups.
We all take our seats, it isn't assigned of course. First come, first serve but once you claim your seat everyone avoids it like the plague. Getting drugged in Estelle College isn't something that were to happen, although we can't kill humans but we can kill other hybrids. But that never came to pass, we all come from every walk of life and we know more about human decency and kindness than most full-blooded humans. None of us are entitled as it will get you killed. And even if you manage to survive, you will have no allies on any front. We'll heal you but we'll make it known that we absolutely despise you. Wallis will make sure that you can't even speak as you remain in his department. Besides, we all know that nowhere aside from here is a safe learning environment, there has never been a scandal of any kind during the entire history that Estelle has been open. No sexual assaults (thank you Wallis), no murders (who wants to take on Victor), everyone is listened to and not ignored. The education here is thorough and the teachers make sure that they cover all of the bases of what the hell is going on and that the history isn't ignored no matter how insignificant or bloody it may seem. Estelle gives a big fat middle finger to the other colleges in The United States because we don't actively drive our students into debt and it's possibly the only school that takes all mental illnesses seriously and actively help the students with their education and growth.
We actively teach the consequences of abuse or sex crimes. And it doesn't help that at least ten of us are victims of sexual assault/abuse. Including at least three of our professors. Wallis surprisingly had a lot of horror stories from what he's experienced since he almost resembles a woman.
A quiet hush came through the War-room. Now that everyone has their second cup of caffeine.
